If you're hoping to spruce up your home in time for the festive period, Valspar is looking for 150 Mumsnetters to test their 2.5L Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint.

Here's what they say, "Often it's hard to keep your home spick and span with little ones running around, especially when hosting a large family at Christmas time, but the Valspar Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint is set to stand the test of time with its maximum durability credentials. Our easy to clean premium paint includes a super-scrub formula and undergoes vigorous scrub testing to ensure the paint won't fade or chip off when cleaned, making it durable for your family home. This high quality paint allows walls to be wiped down and scrubbed clean once the festivities come to an end, without compromising on colour.

"As well as being available in a variety of finishes, including matt, mid-sheen and gloss, the Valspar unique colour matching technology can replicate any colour the eye can see - that's 2.2 million shades! Choose a colour that's personal to you and your family - be it the shade of a festive Christmas bauble, or a favourite ornament, simply take the item to your local B&Q and its exact colour can be scanned and recreated in paint form."

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters who would like to add a splash of colour to their homes. Mumsnetters must be available to trial the product and give their feedback by the end of November.

Selected testers will be sent a voucher for Valspar Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint and a Harris roller and tray set and a Harris brush by 15th November. Testers will be required to use the product to paint a room or a feature wall in their home and provide their feedback on a feedback thread on Mumsnet and complete a short feedback survey. Testers will also be asked to share pictures of their completed room transformations by the end of November.

Everyone who gives feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks
MNHQ

Can we have an update please MNHQ?
I've delayed my project to wait for a voucher but if it isn't coming then I'll need to just crack on.

We are painting our bedroom at the moment and also have a new nursery to do as well, so this would be excellent :)

This has got me thinking about decorating other rooms too and am definitely going to be busy leading up to Christms. I'm really hoping for a voucher to start me off though!

Has anyone heard yet? Not sure whether to delay buying my paint or not..

I couldn't delay as a carpet is going down in there today. If they want the job finishing before the end of November there isn't much time left.

Sorry for the delay! We've now emailed the selected testers :)

Thanks, vouchers arrived today Smile.

I will go to B & Q to choose a colour tomorrow. I am very much a Dulux aficionado so will have to choose a few testers to get a grip with their neutrals but there is certainly a lot of choice!

Yay, thank you for the chance to test this out. Had great plans to do work outside in the coming weeks, but with this rainy weather, painting is definitely preferable.

Yippee! Got the voucher today, nipped to B&Q with v excited DD. So much to choose from that we left with tester pots, but just wanted to flag that I think our vouchers are for Premium Walls & Ceilings paint which means we can also select the mid-sheen finish (in between matt and silk). Happy painting!
